But since the couple's memorable day, her wedding gown has been safely tucked away - until now that is. The TV presenter has chosen to re-wear her wedding gown to tonight's BAFTA TV Awards red carpet and it's already proving to be a nostalgic moment.

The TV star, who became a national favourite following her stint on the in 2009, posted a video of her stylist and friend Faye, sat at her sewing machine while altering her gown.

She captioned the post saying: "Today I'm wearing my wedding dress. It makes me so sad that this is my favourite most special dress I ever bought & I've only ever worn it once." She added that the fact she had only worn it once prompted her to ask Faye to tweak it slightly to make it red carpet ready.

And immediately, Stacey was inundated with comments from fans. One person wrote: "That's a fabulous idea Stacey." Another person penned: "Can't wait to see you in it x." A third said: "Omg" Can't wait."

Sharing snaps of the finished dress on her main Instagram grid, Stacey was all smiles as she posed in her altered wedding dress at her Pickle Cottage home. "off to the BAFTAs," the mum-of-five began in her caption. " I’m so excited & so grateful to have been nominated for TWO this year. What in the heck is life."

"Thank you BAFTA for this honour. And thank you to my family & for giving me the chance to present the most special show, it’s the best job in the & I love every second of it. I decided to have my wedding dress re worked for today because wearing it once feels like a travesty to me.

"I wanted to get her out of the box & take her out on another special day. Thank you & Issy for transforming my wedding dress into something so special & beautiful. I love you girls. Thank you penny for making me feel so beautiful as always. HERE WE GO! Fingers crossed."

Last year, Stacey and her team won the National Television Award forbut earlier this month, Stacey turned the cameras on herself, as she filmed her own reality TV show.

The reality show follows her and life with Joe at their sprawling Essex home, along with their children, ducks and . But it seems watching the show back themselves has highlighted issues in their own marriage that they had previously overlooked.

And now, following the first series, the couple has sought the help of a marriage counsellor. However, the show was clearly a success as the BBC has commissioned a second series of Stacey and Joe.

At the time, a source told OK!: "They underestimated how difficult it was going to be doing this reality show and having cameras around, and watching it back hasn’t been the easiest thing."

They added: "The pressures of all the kids and work while balancing their relationship has been hard, they won’t deny that. They’re going to therapy because they love each other and would never want to get to the point where they don’t want to be together anymore."

The source continued: "Yes, there have been ups and downs and it’s been quite a rollercoaster - but they know there’s no shame in therapy and both realise it’s the best thing for their relationship and to iron out their issues."
